@@BackyardBowyer dude ! great video .. one question , it is a 1 inch pvc pipe ? i cant understand clearly when you said it (1:21 ) .. english isnt my first language hahah
Great fun to watch you work. I admire your skill. PVC is one of my favorite materials to work with for many types of projects/ Had not really considered making a bow... but will be doing so shortly! Thanks for the vid!
On the top board I screwed two vertical 1x2s at each end to be used as guide to keep it inline with the bottom board with clamping. To help keep the pipe straight place two strips of tapered material on each side of the pipe separated by the flat width of the pipe. The flatter the pipe is pressed...the wider it gets.
Yeah. The raccoon said to himself: I've heard there's a guy around these places which makes bows and shoots arrows with them, so I'll just silently pass this area. I have to be carefull because I used to be a raccOOn, but I took an arrow to the . . . bottom of my tail. Now I'm just a poor raccOn.
Ive never actually made one of your bows. Ive always watched your videos and taken bits and pieces to form my own styles. This time Im going to actually make the bow.
Very nice build! I am trying to find PVC pipes at local dealers, but where I live most dealers only supply ABS or PP material, any idea of these would work? Only found thin walled PVC so far, but not sturdy enough for a proper bow :/
Hi, great video and I'm now considering using this method to make a different lotr bow. I'm kind of weak though after surgery so how could I lower the draw weight? A smaller diameter pvc pipe perhaps? I wanted to make legolas's mirkwood bow specifically. Do you also have any suggestions on what length pvc pipe to go with to not make this look ridiculous with a 5'2'' shortie, especially as that bow has less curves to it then the one in your video? Thanks so much.
Can you make a video where you show how to make that string, I can't figure out how to do two loops with the twist, I've watched throne loop video, but no luck.
Hi Backyard Bower, I've just found your channel and would like to try making one of your designs. I'd like to know which of your designs you've found the best from an archery perspective? Which do you still use? Thanks in advance
What would a person expect this bow's draw weight to be if they used 1-1/4" pipe? I was going to make a longbow but love how elegant this bow is. What length string would I probably need for 6.5-7 inch brace height?
do you sell any of your bows? it would be really helpful to get a nice fast well built one as mine tend to chrono less efficient than yours and i would really like to get my hands on a nice one for reference.
BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!! Just ordered your book & I am so excited to make some of my own bows! Would this particular design be possible to achieve in a youth sized bow? Thanks.
Tried making this bow.......... Failed HARD. You sir, have some serious skill. I had more luck with the 'Hungry bow". Keep up the great videos and bows
Hi Nick, I'm a big fan of your channel! I'm looking forward to making this bow and the 10-15 pound kids bow with my kids. I know you're a busy man but could you recommend some arrows that would match both bows? I appreciate your help! Thanks!
The Siyahs confused me a bit in the second video because they're curved the opposite from the rest of the bow, so I'm wondering if you could note that a little better. Also, I think it would be cool if you made some followup videos of like... Bard's bow or a Dwarven bow, showing the differences between them and the Elven bow. Thanks!
I don’t know much about this but I was wondering. If you took your heat gun and didn’t allow it to cool so fast would it help with the brittleness? Just curious if that would help?
Can you please make a Legend of Zelda bow? Doesn't matter from what game, but I think the Sacred Bow from Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword would be awesome. Thanks. :)
Starting to make my first bow...thanks for the tutorials. But it seems a bit off. The pvc won't flatten very well....perhaps more time heating with the heat gun
Definitely. I tried to flatten on my first bow without heating enough, and it failed miserably. Make sure the PVC is COMPLETELY hot, so hot that it will basically droop over when you lift it off the work surface.
Another Great video and bow. Have you ever tried to glue the ends that you cut off. Like after you form them......then come back with PVC glue and put glue in there and press it together in a vise. Just a thought....not sure if it would make any difference in performance.
How much metters is long the pvc pipe and what type of string did you use i saw alot of your videos and seems pvc bow is very strong and hard to brake like wood bow also will be cool if there was video for takedown bow :) thanks !
Could you add fiberglass cloth to the knuckle side of the bow (I don't know what back and belly mean) to make it a laminated bow or add fiberglass rods inside the pipe?
I probably should ask this in a message and not a comment but: The boards- two 2x4s with a couple bolts marked at pipe diameter in the top board? Just having ideas here, but would Serah Farron's bow be possible with this set-up?
In your past life you were probably a peaceful warrior of a north American native tribe, good stewardship of the land, with lots of thoughtful teachings! And your still at it😁
On the hobbit bow, how can you gain more weight to the draw strength?. Amazing video. Also, someone said it before. Can you do a skyrim view. Like the ebony version?
I have dabbled with bowyer for years, and never thought about using PVC till I watched your videos. Real creative!
You are well spoken and take us through the steps in a clear fashion. Thank you! You're brilliant!
I've been a subscriber for about a year now, and can I just say: you seem like the nicest dude in the entire world!
Thanks!

Hey Nick, I'm using a length of rain gutter for a heat trough, works great. Everyone has some left over rain gutter kicking around.
Great fun to watch you work. I admire your skill. PVC is one of my favorite materials to work with for many types of projects/ Had not really considered making a bow... but will be doing so shortly! Thanks for the vid!

I am your 100,000th sub congrats!
Great video and bow as always! I was just wondering, what's the length of the bow string you use because I'm not sure which length to get. Thanks!!
Ive never actually made one of your bows. Ive always watched your videos and taken bits and pieces to form my own styles. This time Im going to actually make the bow.
Thanks for the help. I'm in the middle of making one :)
I'm inspired now. This one is beautiful. Gonna have to give it a trt!
Awesome job man!
Finished my second one after having to close the ends by hand. It came out to 54lbs at 28" draw. I may attempt another to make it cleaner
Very nice build! I am trying to find PVC pipes at local dealers, but where I live most dealers only supply ABS or PP material, any idea of these would work? Only found thin walled PVC so far, but not sturdy enough for a proper bow :/
Magnificent, simply magnificent!
That’s beautiful!
Great bow good job :)
Hello, You Might give me the steps in cm, I'm from Spain, and if possible a picture of the angles of the arc
Thanks, your videos are great
i hate your videos because whenever i try to do it, it never come up as good and elegant as yours :P
Any recommendations for a bow string that I can buy?
I like when he says "Here we go"
love the nature sounds hehehe xD
very nice bow and a very nice little tree in the backgroud :D
Great Vid!
Thank you Nick I've got some PVC here i know how to do this
Backyard bowyer which pvc pipe should u use for the netherland
Very cool, I want one.
This is Decent... Nice..

How long is the string on the bow and what knot did you use
Got a question for you. In relations to the bow and string, how much shorter should the string be than the length of the bow?
Hi Backyard Bower, I've just found your channel and would like to try making one of your designs. I'd like to know which of your designs you've found the best from an archery perspective? Which do you still use?
Thanks in advance
Wouldnt there be a more efficient way to do this with out the initial tapering of the tips?
You are AWESOME
What would a person expect this bow's draw weight to be if they used 1-1/4" pipe? I was going to make a longbow but love how elegant this bow is. What length string would I probably need for 6.5-7 inch brace height?
cool videos dude, id stop saying here we go tho XD, good job keep making more!
Once you flattened the limbs initially, i noticed markings on the bow. What are the measurements on those markings? How long are the Sihyahs?
very interesting bro ! thanks for sharing.
I have a question was it the middle were you put the flattening jig because i just cant hear it.
sick bow
I made one and love it.Be uloading it a couple of days.
How would these bows do in the Texas summers of 110+ degrees?
do you sell any of your bows? it would be really helpful to get a nice fast well built one as mine tend to chrono less efficient than yours and i would really like to get my hands on a nice one for reference.
BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!! Just ordered your book & I am so excited to make some of my own bows! Would this particular design be possible to achieve in a youth sized bow? Thanks.

wow its really good looking
how much would the poundage be for this bow if made of a 4' piece of 3/4" schedule 40 pvc
The Siyahs confused me a bit in the second video because they're curved the opposite from the rest of the bow, so I'm wondering if you could note that a little better. Also, I think it would be cool if you made some followup videos of like... Bard's bow or a Dwarven bow, showing the differences between them and the Elven bow. Thanks!
wearing fivefingers, you're my hero.
Hey Nick. question for you. how much draw weight would be added since I just bought a 1 n 1/4 inch pic and also if it's 5 and a half foot long?
I don’t know much about this but I was wondering. If you took your heat gun and didn’t allow it to cool so fast would it help with the brittleness? Just curious if that would help?
Can you please make a Legend of Zelda bow? Doesn't matter from what game, but I think the Sacred Bow from Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword would be awesome. Thanks. :)
I couldn't find part 2 - is it up?
Starting to make my first bow...thanks for the tutorials. But it seems a bit off. The pvc won't flatten very well....perhaps more time heating with the heat gun
Definitely. I tried to flatten on my first bow without heating enough, and it failed miserably. Make sure the PVC is COMPLETELY hot, so hot that it will basically droop over when you lift it off the work surface.
Muito bom....belo trabalho.
if i divided all the measurements (eg if i divide it by 1.2 the foot marks would be 10 inches)
When making the siyahs could you use bondo or some type of filler to fill in the gaps?
Dude that is awesome. If you do have some for sale let me know. I'll definitely buy
How do you stop the pipe from sticking to the aluminum foil?
Would it be safe to use your cut to center technique on this bow and would it sacrifice any draw weight?
Yup my extension cord caught on fire.
Another Great video and bow. Have you ever tried to glue the ends that you cut off. Like after you form them......then come back with PVC glue and put glue in there and press it together in a vise. Just a thought....not sure if it would make any difference in performance.
hi. i love your vids. ive almost watched them all!! i wonder, can i make a pvc bow with grey pvc? ( i live in Belgium and they dont have white)... bye
How much metters is long the pvc pipe and what type of string did you use i saw alot of your videos and seems pvc bow is very strong and hard to brake like wood bow also will be cool if there was video for takedown bow :) thanks !
He always uses Schedule 40 pipe... with one sch. 80 exception that I remember...
Can I use a thicker pvc pipe for more draw weight??
When flattening the pipe, do you set the jig to the inner diameter, or the outer diameter?
in advance thanks and exelent work
hi
I like your bowls.
do you ever sale them at all or make a bowl for some one that would like to bye it from you?.
Could you add fiberglass cloth to the knuckle side of the bow (I don't know what back and belly mean) to make it a laminated bow or add fiberglass rods inside the pipe?
What do you think is your overall best bow? And awesome videos
I probably should ask this in a message and not a comment but: The boards- two 2x4s with a couple bolts marked at pipe diameter in the top board? Just having ideas here, but would Serah Farron's bow be possible with this set-up?
In your past life you were probably a peaceful warrior of a north American native tribe, good stewardship of the land, with lots of thoughtful teachings! And your still at it😁
Hunger Games
What’s the best way to cut the pvc pipe
On the hobbit bow, how can you gain more weight to the draw strength?. Amazing video. Also, someone said it before. Can you do a skyrim view. Like the ebony version?
How many inches is the spacer thing when you clamp it?
I'm great fan of Your work. What is the thickness of the wall on that pipe ? it looks as if its around 4-5 mm.
Yes, would it be possible to make a 35 lb version of this, in the same dimentions by going down a pipe size?
Please can you make a bow inspired by the superhero hawkeye
What size bolts are using for the press?
Could someone post a link for the exact pipe used on this bow?
